To all whom it may concern: Y

. Be it known that I, STANIsILAw ZYSKOW- SKI, a citizen of Poland, residing at Chester, county of. Delaware, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Holders, of which theffollowing is a specification. This invention relates to improvements in curtain holders and has as its special object the provision of means whereby draperies, shades and curtains of'a'ny'description may be attached so as to partially or wholly obscure the window over which they are onda a further object is to provide a'holder of the device which may be elongatedor con tracted to suit different Widths of window openings, and

A' still whereby the fixtures may be attached i'dly to the window frame without the use 'of screws or like securing means.

These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction and combination.

hereinafter described and shown in of parts the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, .and in which Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan view showing a fixture made in accordance with theinvention.

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view thereof.

Fig. 3 is an end elevational view of the same. i

Fig. at is a fragmentary top plan view showing a modified form of construction.

Fig. 5 is a side elevational view thereof.

Fig. 6 is another fragmentary top plan View showing a further modification in construction.

Fig. 7 is a side elevational view of the same.

Fig. 8 is a plan view of a blank before vided with downwardly extending edges 12,

further object is to provide means "adjusted,

' while at the lower edge of: themain vertical portion are upturned longitudinal edges 14,

forming in effect a runway adapted 'to' r'ecelve the sllde 15, having extending portion 16, adapted to engage with the rear wall lfl ofthe brackets, andthe front of the l'ongi' tudinally downward edge 12.

Formed with the sliding plate 15 is an ear 18, containing an o pening 19 receptive of the shade roller ends. I In the horizontal upper element 16 of the sliding plate, are formed a plurality of circular perforations 20, the same being ali n able with the single o'pening'21, formed in I the "top plate 11, and engageable with the alined openings are the points or spurs 23, of a detent 24:, pivoted in a clip bracket 25",

formed. by pressing upward the material of thus when a longer orv the upper plate, shorter shade pole is used, the ears 18'aremoved'relativelyto the end of the slideby raising'the detent 24 and, when the plate is 21' and? into ,any' of the perforations 20 foiane'd in thelplate, "thereby locking the: slide in the bracket in an obvious manner.

Attached to the back of the bracket is a rigid flat extension 28, containing a vertical passage 29, receptive of the stem 30 of obliquely disposed plate supports 31, bent laterally at the top 32 and also at the ends 33, the end elements being slotted, receptive of a fiat bar 35, provided with a twisted hook-like extension 36, adapted to receive a curtain drapery pole, which with the bar 30 may be adjusted lengthwise with reference to the bracket 31 so as to extend the curtain at a greater or lesser distance from the window, the opposite end of the sliding bar 35 being bent to form a stop 37 preventing its complete withdrawal.

Formed with the extension 28 atthe upper and lower edges on each side, are a plurality of sharp spur elements 38 adapted to the woodwork in the manner of a nail, thereby holding the fixtures permanently engaged with the window frame, and without the use of screws, nalls or the like. i

In the modification shown in Figs. 4 and the same general construction is used exthat in the cover or top plate 11, of the cept "bracket,'in'p lace of a round opening 21 an elongated slot 40 is made, the same being adapted to receive the bent end of a bar 41,

droppingit through the opening I -ately formed lateral portions 61, provided pivoted at 42 in a double sided handle 43,

pivoted on a pin 44, set in the bracket 45,

formed with the top plate 11, the construction being such that as the lever handle 43 is moved outwardly upon its pivotal point, the engaging bent end of, the bar 41' acts to move the plate 11 outwardly, causing a sliding efl'ect between the late and bracket, so that an adjustment of t 1e same may readily be obtained' In the modification shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the openings 20 are engaged by a finger 48, formed with a lover arm 49, pivoted at to a loop handle bar 51 in turn pivoted on a pin r 52,set in a bracket 53, so that an adjustment between the plate and bracket may be obtained in addition to a spring ele ment 54, pressing against a pivoted block 55, holds the lever handle 51 against acci dental displacement.

In Figs. 8 to 10 inclusive is shown another modified form of the structure, the same consisting of a base plate 60, having arouwithteeth in the manner of segments 62' and containing perforations 63, which upon the sides being folded, receive a pin on which is pivoted a lever 66 engaged with a pawl 64, pivoted at'65, on the arm 66, which extends downwardly between the raised segment '61, "and has pivoted by a pin 67, an arm 68 terminating in a prong or finger 69 adapted to engage in the "openings 70, of

a bar 71, carrying an earv 72, in the-manner before mentioned, it being understood that a guide bracket' is; provided for the bar 71.

p The detent or pawl 64 is raised from the teeth of the segments by a'rod 74, provided by an operative knob 75, on the end extending'upwardly from the arm66, the operation and construction in other respects being as previously described.

Having thus described my invention what 7 I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is: V a" 1'.

In a curtain holder, the combination with a bracket adapted to be attached to a window frame, a runway connected to said} brackets, a slide arranged in said runway 'andprovldedwlth a plurallty of perforations, a top plate provided with a single opening adapted to be brought into alinement-with said perforations, said per'fora-, V

v tions and opening adapted; to be engaged by, a detent pivotally secured to said top plate, arigid, fiat extension provided with a overwithdrawal from said loops, substantially as described. r or V r In testimony whereofI have afiixed my signature.
